Counter
NOT A PIZZA
（Page 53)
Located in Yutenji, Tokyo, this pizzeria was designed upon the
owner’s requirement that he wanted a Brooklyn style environment
where they serve freestyle dishes on free menu. Architect created
here a wood-fired kiln near the entrance, which passers-by easily
recognize. A counter encircles the kiln and it represents activities
and warm atmosphere with fire. Interior materials are quite simple,
like white painted bricks, industrial steel pipes, iron work
elements, which remind us of a feeling of Brooklyn. In a back
room there are sofas, and a wall and the ceiling are undressed lit
up by indirect lighting which is made of existing lightweight steel
elements.

HAIR SALON

（Page 122)
Located in an alley of Nihonbashi, Tokyo, this membership hair
salon is like a hideaway far from the hustle and bustle of business
area. A tasteful noren, traditional fabric divider, hangs on the front
facade. When you enter the entrance, you are in one room
treatment operated only by the salon owner.
An island counter, between cutting area and shampooing area,
functions as cashier and a table for counseling and parlor for
customers with kids. As this salon is operated by one person, the
traffic lines of the hairdresser are so minimum and rational,
treatment tools are stocked either on the counter or in the wall
pockets. The lighting is soft and relaxing, and customers can
make themselves comfortable.

HAIR SALON
MA nature
（Page 132)
MA nature is a renovation project of an old apartment and it can
be used either as a gallery or studio. This hair salon is surrounded
by parking lots on two sides and the entrance is on the semioutdoor
walkway side.
A big circle mirror divides the space, reflecting both the inside and
outside of the salon. We even forget the mirror as it can be
sometimes unrecognizable by the visual illusion to confuse real
and virtual, and to change the way we see the world.

ALAÏA
（Page 152)
This ALAÏA store is the first to Japan. It reminds us of the historical
store on Rue de Moussy, Paris, with a spacious fitting area. To
focus on merchandise, the interior is simple, using steel rails,
white corian shelves, and simplified mannequin dolls, which
represents the brand’s creative concept, shapes of garments, and
the timeless beauty. Brand-new collections are displayed on a
store monitor and shoppers can views what creative people doing
in atelier in Paris.

STUDIOUS WOMENS is a selected apparel shop that introduces
Japanese brands to the world. Nestled in a corner on the first floor
of the Marunouchi 2-chome Building, a historic commercial
complex built in 1964. The original black marble walls on the
façade remain intact, with a gate in the brand’s color inserted in
between. The materials used for the interior are limited to glass,
electro-galvanized steel, and white walls that highlight the texture
of the building structure. The structure of the building, damaged
from remodeling works repeated over the years, is carefully
covered with glass so that customers can feel the history of the
city. In addition, the strip lights installed on the floor, ceiling, and
columns in a rhythmical sequence lead people into the store.
